Status of the TAIGA Experiment: Gamma Astronomy
https://doi.org/10.56304/S207956292301027X
Abstract
The paper presents the status of the TAIGA experiment (Tunka Advanced Instrument for cosmic ray physics and Gamma-ray Astronomy), located in the Tunka Valley. The article mainly presents the tasks, developed approaches and first results on high-energy gamma-ray astronomy (10 TeV and more) obtained from a two- to three-year exposure. The current tasks of gamma-ray astronomy and plans for the development of the installation are discussed.
Supporting agencies: The work was performed at the unique scientific setup MSU–ISU Astrophysical Complex and supported by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, project no. EB-075-15-2021-675 (themes of governmental tasks FZZE-2020-0017, FZZE-2020-0024, FSUS-2020-0039) and the Russian Science Foundation, project no. 23-72-00019 (Sections 3, 4, 5).
